A few words about the photo, since I was tricked by one resource (we won't point fingers) into Photoshopping the rays.
The photo was taken with a Canon rangefinder, using Kodak ProFoto400 film, which is developed using C41, meaning it's not truly black and white. The original photo (a scan from the film) can be viewed here: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/3409/markpon1.49/0_290d1_6ced2108_orig
As you can see, there's no Photoshopping involved with the rays. Sorry to have to explain all this here, but it just so happens that people are very fixated on Photoshop lately. And while I don't see anything wrong with photo editing, it's a shame about the film frame.
It's very beautiful.
